About these dates

These dates have been checked by hand against Spain's official calendar.

Spanish towns add two local holidays of their own each year. Those are not in this data.

Some days here follow a calendar other than the Gregorian one, such as End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha). Those dates are calculated rather than announced, so the real day can fall a day either side of what is shown. Check them against an official calendar before you book around one.
